This is B.S.! Mandela died in prison!
Yes
How is it possible to meet people who are involved in the murder of people? Look at the russians, they almost all have Nazis views!
ISRAEL AND AMERICA SHOULD BE BANNED
Then again, I dislike such nations as China, Russia, North Korea, Afghanistan, Turkmenistan, Iraq, Iran, Cuba, Saudi Arabia, and Yemen.
Insightful video.
Did you know, in the 1928 Olympics, Australian sculler Bobby Pearce stopped rowing to let a family of ducks pass? His opponent ended up with a 5 length lead. In the final 1,000 meters, Pearce pulled ahead by 30 seconds, not only winning the gold but setting a Games record.
The ducks were helping him.

Russia is banned from the 2024 Olympic games in Paris France because of the war with Ukraine and Belarus is also banned from the 2024 Olympic games in Paris France for the same reason that banned Russia from Paris 2024 and the IOC ( International Olympic Committee ) isn't sure if Russia and Belarus will be banned for future Summer & Winter Olympic games.
P.s. Russia and Belarus are able to compete as individuals at the moment.
What about the Olympics when Canada was Banned due to the Canadian Team being caught using performance-enhancing Maple Syrup.
That got to be some really good syrup then
I’m sure if they did every time they could do two of these.
Cut to two years later and the canadian womens football team lost its coaches because they were caught using drones to spy on new zealands team 😭😂
😂😂@@zachszone2072
Um, that would be Bear Hugger who’s a fictional Canadian boxer
Your country wants to play? Kuwait a second.
Indonesia banned from participating the games of 1964 Tokyo Olympic Games because Indonesia refused visas of Taiwan and Israel during the 1962 Asian Games
In response of Indonesia's ban on Olympics, they established the counter-Olympics as Games of the New Emerging Forces or GANEFO and it was held in Indonesia in 1963 and Phnom Penh in 1966 before it was dissolved in 1970..Eventually after 1964,Indonesia returned the Olympics and still present until today with the Philippines
I like the modern practice of allowing athletes to compete independently. There's no reason they should suffer for the bigshots' stupidity.
defeats the entire purpose
Totally amazing watch mojo of counties that are banned from the Olympic and fantastic job on the video too.
8:05 strange. Russia somehow hosted the World Cup in 2018 and were even one of the first teams to play. How did that happen?
Did FIFA ban them for doping?
FIFA is way more powerful and independent, just like IIHF for example. But IOC and smaller federations are easily corrupted.
@@J0rdan912 Fifa is one of the most corrupt organizations on the planet. It makes the NCAA look like Greenpeace.
They didn‘t dope in football and the host always plays first. Also, FIFA is corrupt as hell, just take a look how they awarded the World Cup to Qatar.
They say we should keep politics out of sports and all that….well it’s nothing new apparently with the Olympics
When were athletes allowed to compete independently for the first time? Could someone from the Central Powers have competed for another country in the 1920 Antwerp games?
This is a very accurate list!
I hate that athletes suffer for what their countries government does or doesn’t do and then their country gets banned, also I’m sure most Olympian’s would want the best in the world their regardless becaus that’s the heart of the Olympics
It's absolutely strange that China and Israel haven't been banned by the IOC despite the human rights violations these two had done.
That thumbnail...lol
I know! So funny 😅😅😅😅
Russia and Ukraine innocent people now have wait for man fighting for a land that God made for us humans to live , love your neighbors not kill them.
Well if god is that bothered by it then they could always appear and tell them to stop.
India can’t be in it
“Ok let’s call them INDependant participants ;)”
I mean no one gives a shit for winter. And only 2-3 people participated so it doesn't matter for indian olympic community
6:52 In [at] 5:03PM Shots were fired in the [Olympic] Village
I never knew that the Olympics will banned country from playing in the Olympics games
Oh, yes. Some countries also boycott the games for whatever reason.
China needs to be at the top of this list, PERIOD.
Like they could have been banned for starting a global pandemic
Why would it be
@@RenasMayiWhy wouldn’t it be?!
They could be banned for Anti-Doping
@@l-wolverine2211 that problem goes the individual athlete only not the whole country. China is also works with WADA to combat doping..
@@l-wolverine2211 and if we go politically, Israel should be banned for the genocide and USA should be banned too with for supporting Israel... Just like how Russia got banned for invading Ukraine and Belarus getting banned with it for supporting Russia
In Tokyo 2020 they were Russian contestants tho!😳😳😳
it's called ROC
They aren’t under the Russian flag though
I feel like bans make sense in the respect that the banned countries competitors might be at risk of being harmed for what’s going on in those home countries
Umm, Russia's banned was overturned. They're literally competing right now.
They’re not competing under Russia’s name and flag though. They instead used the banner “Russian Olympic Committee”.
They should be banned from the next Olympic Games for their invasion of Ukraine. And this wasn't the first time they invaded Ukraine.
My guess is that Russia will be banned again given the fact that they started a war with and invaded Ukraine.
Lithuania wasn't invited for the 1936 Olympics in Berlin.
I would like to see China PRC banned from participating in the 2024 Summer Games in Paris due to you guessed it...
Boo Russia boo
Australia should be banned for the 2028 Olympics for sending that woman..
U have to lead ur countries our way or be removed r u f in craxy

I've never heard of the country of "Rhodesia".
Rhodesia is Zimbabwe's old name.
@@yaboitsv thank you for the info :)
Cecil Rhodes
I’m sorry, I disagree about one thing. You aren’t banned if you’re allowed to compete. Russia athletes should not be allowed to compete. That’s not a punishment. They still have a chance to compete for a medal which is an award. The IOC should be ashamed at allowing this. Same with Kuwait when they had an athlete win gold. If you’re gonna ban a country, ban the country fully but don’t go half in on that penalty. SMH
Russia did it to themselves i am glad they are not in they olympics
So this channel's new obsession is olympics huh?
I mean, the winter olympics are happening right now so pretty appropriate
@@joeyjerry1586 better than cobra kai I guess
Afghan women banned from sports? Good grief.
Lol Russia is not banned the just go under a differnet name.
They compete under the Olympic flag, the bet that if a Russian were to win a medal, it would not count as a Russian win. I also do not think they can have the Russian flag on the podium in the event of a medal win.
You can not take away a person's nationality, so yes Russians compete. But Russia as a country is not in the Olympics. Any medals that they win will not go to Russia's medals through the ages.
@@TheMimlis They are under Russian Olympic Committy, its all samantics.
@@TheMimlis Not only flag, but clothing, accessories, jewelry and even nail polish. No joke, already happened. So you can imagine how far these things from actual sport or doping and close to some things that happened before World War 2 with Jews and black people... Humans will never learn from their mistakes.
shame
How is Iran still in the olympics???
Me too
Just FYI. A lot of American athletes take banned substances every day because they have prescription.. Simone Biles takes medicine for her ADHD that helps with concentrating (essentially gives her advantage). She won her 5 medals in Rio while she was taking banned drugs. The reason why she did so poorly in Tokyo was because Japan didn't allow her to bring those drugs with her. Serena Williams also had prescription and allowance to take some drugs that helped her win those grand slams a few years ago. There are also a lot athletes who claim they have asthma and that allows them to take other performance-enhancing drugs legally. Everybody cheats however they can. But hey, they ban Russia from the Olympics just because they don't like us after the Crimea. This is so hypocritical.
True Norwegians are too one masters to use these whitelisted drugs... if noted they get very butt hurt for some reasons lol.
Putin must be paying you well
@@adugames4385 He also told me when the real invasion is gonna be)
זה החיקוי של טופ גיק?
Because of political issues thats the basis of it
I'mposible z d
Apartheid South Africa should be number 1
PLEASE CHANGE THE PREVIEW
It’s very offensive indeed. Imagine doing that to Biden rn?
You just lost a loyal sub
Lol
@@grigoryevstepan I'm sure they're very bothered by losing you :p
that thumbnail gonna start a war
Мне жаль вас …
Russia should be number one.
I didn’t Knew That India was Banned from the Olympics
Мне жаль вас ….
Because I Didn't Watch Sports Channels Way Back in 2014
Yeah , in response then ruling party Indian national congress decided to host their own olympics , even though it was cancelled
Western hypocrisy 😎
why wasnt north korea banned?
Me too
Why would it be
there has to be a reason for the olympics to ban a country, being a dictatorship is not a bannable reason
For those who don't know. Rhodesia is now called Zimbabwe
No it's called SOUTH AFRICA
@@SMproductions05huh...
Despite the seriously questionable decisions the Olympics has made over the years, at least they take each country’s involvement per game seriously
Biased judges: Uh . . . right
I read that Russia's ban will be lifted at the end of 2022, will be interesting to see if that does go through
Probably not, this is not the first time it remains under any possible and impossible reasons, despite lack of official investigation, evidences and conclusions. Even better, Court of Arbitration for Sport is constantly clearing and reinstating Russian athletes with their records and medals while more and more clean athletes, federations, even Paralympic teams, stadiums and coaches are getting banned by random sport federations and foreign anti-doping organizations (mostly Western, of course). Nothing interesting about simple politics. My bet that it will never stop until politics will be purged out for good from sport.
@@J0rdan912 Russia has been doping and giving dope secretly by their government since the 80s. There's documentaries, investigations, tons of incidents, tons of evidence. It's common knowledge. They're great at gymnastics, terrible at everything else... so they use drugs... that are given by the literal Russian government.
@@J0rdan912 So you're Russian or from a country that used to be Russia and you sympathize. Okay whatever. It would be in your history to burn books and play dumb
@@V1ralB1ack Another shiny example of labels, ignorance and blind hatred to certain nations, bravo
Technically it was lifted in 2018 cause they found "out" that there were clean athletes but what's banned is they can't go by the name Russia until 2022
Russia dissapointed me so much in Sochi 2014, I won't be able to see them with the same eyes ever again, not because of the doping scandal but because the way they robbed that gold in female figure skating, what a shame.
Oddly enough Italy wasn't banned from the 1948 Olympics
That because they chose the right side in the end, and didn’t really do much
Also they talk a lot about Italy being allowed to go to London, but Hungary (who was also officially on the Axis side) also sent a competing delegation
Albania has the récord of most boicots ever made!! Does that counts??
By the time Germany and Japan surrendered at the end of WW2, they weren't allowed to compete until the 1952 Olympics. Also, Germany lost their eastern territories that are owned by Poland and the USSR, and Germany was split into 2 with the western sector under French, British and American control while the eastern sector under Soviet control. The same split happened in Berlin, and by 1949, West Germany (FRG) and East Germany (GDR) were formed.
I don’t get it, how can banned countries have participating athletes?
Exactly. You aren’t banned if your athletes are allowed to compete and go for gold. I could care less of what flag they play under, they’re still competing.
Corruption. Putin owns the IOC and has muscled them into accepting "clean" athletes under the IOC flag, which is bullshit because their last winter Olympics uncovered more doped up athletes.
@@jearbear4987the country committees don’t get any money
The IOC makes some exceptions these days for athletes to represent themselves, especially when their countries and/or Olympic committees have some beef going on.
Correction: the olympics is MOST DEFINITELY not the world's biggest sporting event, the world cup is
The World Cup is the biggest, but the olympics is by far the most well known worldwide.
More people watch the World Cup, but that doesn't make it the biggest event, just the most watched.
@emsewemsie8977 you have to be demented, look at the viewing numbers, the world cup gets infinitely more views and people watching, it's MOST DEFINITELY known infinitely more than the olympics
@Jabberstax you literally sound like a dim-wit more people watching means it bigger, viewership is literally what decides the prestige, it also generates more money, so what backwards metric are you using to judge?
@@Mdksupreme1yeah nah 😂
hope keep healty all staff watch mojo. 🙏
But they technically didn't start the war, the starting event was one of their dukes getting assassinated.
Yeah, there is even a plaque on the bridge where it happened, noting that that particular shot struck a blow for their independence.
You missed the ban for Yugoslavia in 1992.
We all were kept from watching probably the greatest basketball game of the 20th century, and probably of all time, between the USAs original Dream Team and the greatest team in "amateur" basketball at that time Yugoslavia.
Americans would have probably won that anyways, but still it is too bad that "The game of the century" was never played.
United States was the last country to use professional athletes in the Olympic Games. The US Olympic Committee was thinking about it ever since the basketball team lost to the then-Soviet Union in the 1972 Olympics from that conversional call which the team still haven't and won't pick up their silver medals.
I remember that ,was very disappointed as well , but Serbia played well
Israel lol Russia and South Africa
At least Australia 🇦🇺haven’t been banned.
New subscriber 👍
Ppl still thinking Russia banned cause doping
This is funny
Where was the 1916 olympics going to be held? Berlin, Germany. Where was the 1940 olympics going to be held? Tokyo, Japan. Just putting a bit of information out there.
If they weren’t banned already, Russia would probably have been banned from the 2022 Olympics given the current issue with Ukraine
*2024. Although you might be right if what you're talking about is the Beijing Winter games.
@@damilolaakanni yes, that’s what I meant
@Oren Black absolutely. Those people are so messed up in the head they can’t see that their president is a tyrant and a war criminal
@Oren Black thank you for that. I appreciate it
I say keep Russia out of the games forever and let Ukraine keep competing!
The Olympic committee decided to include Kosovo in 2016? What in the actual hell? They're about 25 years late on that one. And why would they let India participate in the middle of the games? Don't they know that it takes more than a day or two to prepare for the Olympics? Very interesting list.
With the India one....some athletes were already competing just as independents, so they just changed their "label" not their effort nor involvement. Otherwise, since it was just changing the president of a committee and not a whole country that happened to allow them in, they might have been preparing for that possibility and been "staying warmed up" just in case. Besides which Olympic athletes practice EVERY day of the year regardless.
What do you mean by "25 years late" Kosovo only become a independent nation in 2008 (14 years ago as of 2022) and was recognized by the International Olympic Committee on 9 December 2014. So the 2016 games marked the frist time they were at the Olympics as a independent nation. Which by the way they also won there frist ever gold medal.
Yea. Whichever countries broke the rules and got banned, shame on them! Also the thumbnail is so funny and somewhst cringe
Such bull s how dare u use Olympics as tool to bother local countries
Allowing athletes to compete as independents is offensive. We all know which country they are from!
IOC says they are NOT political but almost everything they do is political. A country that systemically doped and covered up doping was technically banned but its athletes have continued to compete as if nothing happened. I don't care if they can't hear their national anthem or use their flag, they are there competing nonetheless and everybody knows which country they are from. RIDICULOUS - IMO.
💜
Look at modern-day South Africa, then tell me if ending apartheid was worth it. 😂
Indians getting banned for what name did you say?
This is really messed up
Hi :)
Я уже знаю кто Номер Один, но я за Россию.
Yea. If the goverment didnt sponsor doping, Russia could have NOT been banned and still participate.
